Sorry for the little break, I just wanted to get Heart Of A King: Seeds of Tradition done! I was ignoring it with this lovely story of mine! So without further a due, here is the next chapter of Hey Brother

Following his sister around whenever she walked was not as easy as he thought. The princess was much more faster than she was as a cub, she could always be seen standing in either day or night, looking up at the clouds instead of beside her. Kiara could never see the golden fur and the red mane beside her, but Kion didn't question it. It was how he knew this would be it.

When she ran, he ran. She ran to the peak and looked over to the beautiful light of day that shined on their land, making the Pridelands perfectly clear to them both. "Still wow," Kiara laughed while Kion gave a quiet nod. When she was about to make her way down the stair-like rocks, something bumped into Kiara.

By their younger brother, also known as Kion's replacement(to him anyways), he was the only brother Kiara had. Unlike the rest of the pride, Kiara was the only one who truly treasured her little brother greatly as Moyo reminded her of Kion. They had always been playing together and talked about the kings of the past, and how Moyo would always be the Pridelands' prince.

Kion was sure it hurt Moyo's feelings when Kiara didn't notice him. So, he had taken it upon himself to keep his brother company so he wouldn't be feeling lonely about being ignored like he didn't matter. So, Moyo was always happy.

"Kiara, can I come with you?" Moyo asked, moving aside so he could look her in the eyes. He held a small smile on his face.

Kiara giggled. "I don't know." While they talked, Kion sat still.

"Oh, come on sis, I never get to go with you," Moyo gave a whine, when he always went with her. He couldn't help it, it was a part of him, and he had began changing more while he was growing up. Rule number one was to always have fun. "Please, Kiara?" He asked. "Just this once."

"You could easily get hurt-"

"Hurt, or stepped on, and even get lost." Moyo mocked her sister and his father with a roll of his eyes. Kion gave a small laugh.

Kiara went on talking. "Remember, if you come with me, I want you to stay by my side at all-"

"At all times, I know." Moyo mumbled while his sister spoke. "And if I see any strangers, don't talk to them. Remind by your side. Okay, okay! Can we go now? Please?"

"Funny," Kiara laughed.

While that was going on, their parents watched from the cave, speaking about how familiar the scene was to them. Sitting down, Kiara gazed at her brother before lowing herself so he could jump on her back and lay down.

As they moved down wind towards the big land, Kion quickly followed them. Ready to talk with them, but when they looked away, the prince sighed and kept quiet. They couldn't be able to hear him anyways since Kiara had ignored his pain once.

Moyo was hyper as he jumped down and race to catch a butterfly, away from Kiara as she sat down and waited for Kovu. Kion bite his lip as he moved to go watch his brother, laughing while he did the same thing Kiara did back then.

Bumped his head into a rock.

This time he looked down into the water and Kion got an idea, he moved so he was by Moyo and focused on appearing in the water, and when he did, Moyo blinked before titling his head. Wondering who it was and why he was there instead of his reflection.

He thought nothing of it.

"Moyo!" Kiara's call came from behind. "What did I tell you about running off? Always stay by me at all times! What would happen if you got lost?"

Moyo's ears flattened. "I didn't think I would get lost. I know the lands like the back of my paw, Kiara. What could happen?"

"What would've happened if Zira found you?" Kiara asked, narrowing her eyes. "Do you understand how bad that would be? What she could've done?"

"Who's Zira?"

Kiara sighed heavily, "A really bad lioness."

"Oh." Moyo said. "Kiara?"

"Yes?"

The prince shifted on his paws while he looked down at the ground, "Can you tell me more about Kion?" he asked softly. "I want to know what my brother was like."

"How do think I would know?" Kiara questioned, and Kion felt his heart tug with sadness. Unknown to him, Kiara also felt her heart twist.

"Because... I heard them whispering about how you stop talking to yourself," Moyo admitted. "I thought, y'know, you had powers that allowed you to see him..."

Kion gave a slight purr before nuzzling his sister, knowing she couldn't hear him, but he didn't care at the moment. He needed to speak. "You did." He softly said. "And it was the best times of my life in the Spirit World."

"Moyo," Kiara began, trying to figure out why she left something on her fur while nothing was there. "From what I remember, he was a real once in a life-time lion. Always convicing me to do the right thing instead of the wrong. Always trying to make me happy throughout our life. No one else could see him though."

"Because he was dead?" Moyo guessed. "Like mommy and daddy told us?"

She sat down on her hind legs and bowed her head sadly, "Yes. I didn't think of much it, so everyone thought I was speaking to myself."

Moving to sit in his sister's fore legs, Moyo sat himself down and hugged his sister, grabbed her muzzle and gave her a lick of comfort. He didn't like seeing his big sister all sad like. It wasn't like her at all.

Kion also gave his own nuzzle to her.

"If you have a cub, are you going to name him after Kion?" Moyo asked, making Kion get his hopes up.

"Yes, I am." Kiara nodded. "His name will be Kiongozi."

Kion's ears perked up before giving a smile, hoping Kiara felt happiness raise in her chest. He purred gently and followed his siblings around whenever they wanted until Moyo ran to catch with his friends and Kiara sat down.

Gazing up at the sky like she was expecting to see the very same cloud she and Kion once saw. When she sighed, she didn't notice Kion and how he sat down beside her.

"I'm sorry, Kion," Kiara whispered. "If only I didn't ignore that twist of my heart, then you would still be here. With me."

"It's okay, Kiara." Kion whispered back, nuzzling her. "I forgave a long time ago."

Nothing was said for a long time.

After all, nothing needed to be said. Everything was perfect at the moment, and Kion knew exactly how to get her to notice him again.

Follow her around and act either happy or sad.

It was working so far.

Any ideas on how Kion might get Kiara to notice him?

Just thoughts, no suggestions!
